Hot summer streets and the pavements are burning, I sit around Trying to smile but the air is so heavy and dry Strange voices are saying things I can't understand It's too close for comfort, this heat has got right out of hand It's a cruel, cruel summer Leaving me here on my own, it's a cruel, cruel summer Now you're gone The city is crowded, my friends are away and I'm on my own It's too hard to handle so I gotta get up and go It's a cruel, cruel summer Leaving me here on my own, it's a cruel, cruel summer Now you're gone It's a cruel, cruel summer Leaving me here on my own, it's a cruel, cruel summer Now you're gone It's a cruel, cruel summer Leaving me here on my own, it's a cruel, cruel summer Now you're gone It's a cruel, cruel summer Leaving me here on my own, it's a cruel, cruel summer Now you're gone It's a cruel, cruel summer Leaving me here on my own, it's a cruel, cruel summer Now you're gone
